Oil dipstick tube broke

The part that broke off might be long enough to still be in the tube and you can get it out by removing the tube out of the block should be just pressed in and can be pulled out, check to see if it has a bolt holding it. If the part that broke off is short and fell into the oil pan don't worry about it just put in a new dipstick

If the oil level (checked with the dipstick) is VERY high, and the oi on the dipstick looks like chocolate milk (or just after running, foamy chocolate milk), this usually means either the head gasket is blown, or the cylinder head or the engine block is cracked, allowing the engine coolant to mix with the engine oil.

prob need to change the oil for correct type and the filter.that would be a start point.

yes you can still change oil with oil drained remove dip tube extract dip stick replace tube Then repair/replace dip stick, fill as per normal

wondering what became of this problem, i just experienced this same thing todaywent to check oil and noticed the dipstick was sitting in a different spot, went to move it over and it was quite loose, so pulled up and the stick and housing came with it

Hi there, hope these few steps help:

• Raise the car with a jack and support the vehicle with jack stands sufficiently rated to safely support the weight of the vehicle.
• Place a large drip pan under the transmission.
• Remove the transmission fluid drain bolt with a wrench. The drain bolt is located at the bottom of the transmission facing the pan. The pan is the large flat plate that covers the very bottom of the transmission.
• Drain the transmission fluid into the drip pan.
• Reinstall the transmission fluid drain bolt with the same wrench used to remove the bolt.
• Lower the vehicle to the ground after removing the jack stands.
• Open the hood and remove the transmission dipstick from the filler tube by pulling the dipstick. The end of the dipstick will be curved into a circle to allow a finger to slide into the circle to withdraw the dipstick.
• Place a funnel into the dipstick tube and fill the transmission with new fluid by pouring the fluid into the dipstick tube.
• Remove the funnel and check the fluid level with the dipstick until the fluid reaches the "Full" mark on the tip of the dipstick.
• Start and allow the engine to run for a few minutes.
• Move the transmission gear selector through all of the gears while depressing the brake pedal.
• Turn the engine off and check the fluid level on the dipstick. Add transmission fluid if necessary.

Best of luck.

yes first remove the air cleaner housing witch is black plastic big housing with two air duct connect to front cross member pulling upwards have a look back right hand side the engine bay behind the engine you can see black small tube, it have covered by black cap with read lock you have to pull and brake read lock to open the cap some model have oil dipstick tube also near that be careful open the right one transmission dipstick tube shorter than oil dipstick tube you have to open shot one if you have good look you can see it's going to transmission or engine for adjust transmission oil you have to check transmission oil temp and you need right dipstick for that the dipstick only have with authorized Mercedes service center maybe could find from other workshops too not sure for check oil temp you need a diagnose cpu.

The oil has to be going somewhere. Just to clarify, when you say no oil on the dip stick, You do mean when checking the oil correct? If your not leaking oil, then perhaps you are burning oil? How often do you add oil to this vehicle and how many miles are on this vehicle?

On my girlfriend's 93 (same generation), it's right in front, between the two middle exhaust manifold runners. You should see a hole in the heat shield, and the dipstick handle is right there. If the dipstick is missing, look through that hole with a flashlight and you'll see the tube there.
